Challenges in 2014: The Year of Learning to Simplify

It's been a hard week. I've been practicing a lot of unintentional avoidance of my feelings and my stress and anxiety that are related to going into a new work situation. The job is a good one, and we need it, but I'm not 100% excited about leaving the kids for something that I don't have the utmost enthusiasm for. So, I've spent a lot of the past couple days just checked out emotionally. Stress and anxiety do that to me...I just shut down and become nonfunctional for all but the most basic things. I get that from my mom, and it just seems to get worse the older I get.

I did get a call from Hobby Lobby this week. They had offered me the really fantastic job back in June, but I couldn't accept because they wanted me to relocate 3 hours away and we just couldn't make that work. Apparently, the same position has opened up in a store that's only an hour away, which is a perfectly acceptable commute for the salary. And, it's arts and crafts! I would definitely endure a longer drive to get to work with merchandise I'm passionate about. I'm meeting with the recruiter on Friday to talk about it.

In other news, I really want to get back to blogging. I'm kicking around the idea of starting a crafting/homesteading/unschooling/free range parenting blog. I have a lot of ideas, but we'll see how they develop overtime.

Okay...time to go hose my kids off and drag them inside so they can get ready for bed.
